- Francois and Sarah-lee live in a stunning, modern tiny house together with their 3 children. At only 21 m2 (226 ft2) fitting a family of 5 into the home was no easy task. Thankfully, Francois, a tiny house designer and builder was up to the challenge!

I think a housing crash will happen because all those people who bought homes over asking price, although it was at a low interest rate, they are over their heads. They have no equity if the housing prices continue to go down, and if for whatever reason they cannot afford the house anymore and it goes into foreclosure because even if they try to sell, they will not make any money. I think this will happen to a lot of people especially with the massive layoff predicted for the future and the cost of living rising at a high speed.
I suggest you offset your real estate and get into stocks, A recession as bad it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you’re careful and it can also create volatility giving great short time buy and sell opportunities too. This is not financial advise but get buying, cash isn’t king at all in this time!
@@marcelrobert9569 You are right! I have diversified my 450K portfolio across various market with the aid of an investment coach, I have been able to generate a little bit above $830k in net profit across high dividend yield stocks, ETF and bonds.
@@henryCliffordJames Julie Anne Hoover is the coach that guides me, She has years of financial market experience, you can use something else but for me her strategy works hence my result. She provides entry and exit point for the securities I focus on.
@@robertlucas8288 I hope that’s when I can buy an apartment when the housing market thanks.
I love how they understand that it's not forever but be happy with the present and spending time with each other. Those are the moments that count. They know the kids are going to get older and want their own space. I love how this family is practical about the future. :)
Wow!! 413 Likes! Thats insane! Thanks everyone! :) ❤
Riyadhra Jackson what do you mean by not forever? Cause if it's about love you're missing the lecture of our GOD when it comes to family.
iru neilskyelen seems like 121 people understood that these people understand that living in a tiny house won't be forever because their children will grow up and want their own space. I have no idea where your little theory came from.
You are totally right on point there❤️
@@juthasandholdtstryhn9567 thank you! :)
@Lynette thank you :)
He's speaking English but still speaking French. Totally French guy
You actually should say he is
speaking English with a French
accent. You can only speak one
language at a time. Accent stays
with one for life. Besides his kids
will at least grow up with English
and French. It is a pity these days
to only grow up speaking one language. 😚😚😚
😂😂😂
I first suspected when he was called François😀
Then we he started speaking😂😂 French. I have the same accent, I do speak French. My son always says same to me.
@@annacompan7219 French is a really
charming language. We use it
here also in Switzerland.
@@user-ii5jh2ch2i
His accent and pronunciation of words are mostly French than English. Though his English, I mean phrase structures and grammar are perfect. I do have same issues but in here, lots of people like my lovely accent😊
and miraculously we understand what he is talking lol
The 3 of them have the most diffrent accents I cant😂😂
....is this not common to hear?
Like damn you worried about the way these ppl talk shit where they do that at
Darris Scruggs it a joke
You know, I have to say that for a tiny house with 5 people living in it, I found the living, dining and kitchen area to be quite spacious. Most tiny houses I've seen have a small, built-in couch and an even tinier fold-down dining table next to a window. This house has great flow and feels big! Brilliant design!
Yes, I agree. Great design. And the flow between interior and exterior is important.
I agree! Brillant design! I'd happy live there!
You question questions ppqppapa
This is because the house is 10 ft wide instead of 8 ft. It allows for a lot more space
maybe because most of their design put bed on upstairs... i hv my permanent tiny house with 2 bedroom downstair then kitchen and bathroom being tiny .. so if i want bigger space for all i hv to build upstair..
I’ve fallen into a tiny house hole
Same here sister
Omg sameee😩😂
Me too
Same here
Olivia ur not alone 😅
The kids are so sweet and seem so well-behaved! May them be blessed with a happy joyful life!
Coz they are home-schooled and does anything and everything together :)
They're not American kids.
@@RatedArggg where from?
@@masterm9360 It says Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. I'm guessing the man, Francois, is probably French.
Marta Bergen LMFAO HAHAGS
It's really good for the kids to raise them together in one house. When they start to grow up, they'll learn to love and care for their family a lot more. My family was raised like this. I know some families who doesn't speak to their own brothers and sisters after they grow up. My love and respect goes to this couple!
Kids bed arrangement is very nice, whole house is modern and looks very spacious.
Clever, huh?! I was really impressed with this design.
Ah that is the word I should of used ! Great find, keep up the good work.
Their tiny house is elegant, the most upscale perfect (to my tast) of all the multitudes of videos I've seen, but that family's loving, mutually respectful dynamic, delighting in each other, flowing so gracefully around each other--!! What planet are they from!? I want to go there!
DragonPlays nope not the bathroom and bedroom
I loved that Francois juts kept giving nuggets of wisdom throughout the video. The family clearly know their priorities.
Absolutely! Great people with a great philosophy and talented builders too!
I love that he addresses that homes should be adjustable to what you need at the moment. He realizes his kids will need their own spaces someday, and they’ll change their living to fit their kids’ needs. Let’s start calling homes modular instead of tiny or large - you add or subtract what you need.
Lori Cox - Very well said. I wish I was able to understand the father. I listened over and over and just could not make out most of what he said. I am so used to an Italian accent (husband) - I seem to simply be unable to assimilate other accents - even those speaking my language - English.
The Way try putting on subtitles 🙃
The kids are so happy living in a tiny house because let's face it which child wouldn't love to live in a lifelike barbie house?! It's like their dream came true.
Additionally, everything is downsized to them and no the children has to get adapted to an adult world! They also share more time and space with the parents and brother that is actually what all child wants! To be close to the family!
I think out of all the tiny houses I've seen, this layout makes the most sense. Pushing out the kitchen and the shelving to opposite ends really does make a huge difference!
I love this house but I think I love the family more. They are together always, kids learn at home and you can just hear and see the love in that home. Plus great values and respect they also have for their children is noticeable by the way the kids can put their things on the big shelf as well. Great video!!
As a 19 tear old, as a new adult I admire them but I would not have enjoyed that as a child I always wanted freedom to spread out
This video was refreshing, such a sweet family.
I'm currently in my 2nd year of college... majoring in architecture... I'm thinking of building a tiny house! I've actually already talked to most of my professors and I'm super excited.
I’m a second year Architecture student right now! Our last semester final was designing a community of tiny houses. :)
@@allybkat Can we see the project somewhere?
@@allybkat I'm also interested to see your work, if possible :) thanks!
Did you? Let us know when you can/do please
Sana alll
I wish I'd caught on to the Tiny House movement when my kids were young. I would have worked less and spent more time with them. Bravo to you!!
The couple fits all their clothes into a basket!!!!????? I thought I was minimal sharing a closet with my husband. They must just do laundry every week. Actually sounds nice.
I think they probably do the laundry every day 🤣
They use storage in a workshop on the property.
Ariana Fox - You saw that the children each had their own drawer for clothes. I couldn’t understand what the mom was saying about the basket in their loft bedroom. She lost me with that comment. But they keep off season clothes in one of their workshops. I didn’t catch what their business was regarding the various workshops. The kids also have a workshop for their crafts.
I do laundry every week, 3 loads - clothes, towels and bedlinnen. And I don't live in a tiny home.
Most People I know of do laundry every week or maybe 10 Days.
@@theway5563 Their bussiness is to build tiny houses. Look at that guy's t-shirt. It has his company name on it
That bunk bed idea is really clever. Wonderful house. Loved it.
My daughter is nearly 14 and wants us to move into a motorhome/RV as she recognises that it's tough being a single mother!
Boy I wish I brought my kids up in a Tiny House! You've got the Right Ideals : 💞 + Family = 🏡
"A three bedroom house doesn't cater to a single person either." Outstanding statement!
Brodie Jr Mine does. Bedroom, guest room/hobby room, study.
This looks like an awesome The Sims 4 challenge
It's a shame we still don't have ladders and bunk beds.
,,
Anna Reed now we have a tiny living stuff pack but STILL no bunk beds and ladders lol
at least there is tiny living stuff but its harder to build in a small space in the sims 4
@@crystaltranquilino3578 ikr it would have been the best pack for it! Seriously though ea...
I saw this Home in a magazine and had actually ripped out the article and kept it. So it was amazing to watch this video and see the family as well as their tiny home. Incredible space, feeling very inspired for my family of 4. Thanks for another great video
I like the closeness... It's called Family.
Whats family?
@@nutellajar1775 closeness
What a beautiful comment!
G.T. G 1 not all family’s are close
Still some people are introverts, they're overstimulated being around people 24/7, and just need space from their loved ones to recharge. I love my family but 2 hours a day in the same room is the most I can do without becoming depressed or irritated.
Loved the house! And what I loved, even more, were the values and principles this couple has while raising their children.
Holdin’ back tears, so precious! Beautiful mentality! 💚 Keep finding amazing families like this to share with the world Bryce, so wonderful!
This is the best tiny house I've seen thus far, just for the simple fact that it was a house built for such a large family. I love it.
I love this. The compound tradition of family living is revived. Many families I knew in Mexico lived very similarly; small family dwellings for cooking and sleeping, a large open middle area, and work spaces apart. I loved it. It allows for scalability without committing to more than is needed or having to have everything at once.
Such a lovely example for many dysfunctional role model "families" that the media keep on projecting to us these days. Lovely house.
Wow, Bryce! I love this family, their extremely thoughtful values in nurturing the children and each other, and this wonderfully practical, gorgeous home. For the past couple years I have been following a few THOW channels to find what would work for me as a 74.5 year old woman (who retired 2 years ago). The reality of having 44 years in my current home and downsizing to a THOW has taken dedicated effort mentally and emotionally before the “doing” part.
You and your partner have discovered hundreds of people making the same journey, yet what you both offer with the people you choose to film is a constant variety. That quality of noting both the sameness of thinking, yet with continuing differences has touched my heart so much. This is a home that I can see for my own life. I love the small bedroom that is so much like a cubby space. One twin bed with the opposite as a full-sized bookcase would be perfect. That huge window, the large room with spacious space, and the built-ins are perfect.
This home is totally brilliant! It is one thing to appreciate others' homes for themselves and then to discover one example that would be solely for your own dreams and needs. . So sorry, this has run on too much. Thank You to you both, Francois, and Sarah-lee!
I love the calmness of the interior, must be the materials and lack of clutter, and of course the book shelves, as a big reader I dont believe a house is a home without books for everyone to enjoy
Oh my god, I’m so in love with this family and with the design of their tiny home.
Best floor plan I've seen so far!!! Love the open space created in the middle by pushing the kitchen to the end.
Nice home, I'd want a more private bedroom though.
@Charlie Vetsworth literally
@Charlie Vetsworth I mean it's a little awkward if you want to be intimate with your person and you kinda don't want to because the kids are like right there.
@@okayfine7040 pretty sure they had their fair share of fucking
@@bananasaur5209 fucking doesn't stop at their age usually...
Even if you don't live in a tiny house, kids might enter the bedroom all of a sudden, even if there is a door ... they're kids.
That bathroom is even smaller than mine - and I'm going to live alone in my tiny house. Impressive!
Nessa Goes Wild can i stay with you?
Im jealous
I wish you did your videos in English also so some people can follow you
Nessa Goes Wild I wish your videos were english
Beautiful family, beautiful home! "Your biggest asset that you have is your time with your family" Amen!
Such a beautiful and practical home! And the family is so cute and well bonded. I have quoted the mom's life tips twice now to other people - "easier together" and "the more you share together the stronger you are". It is always lovely to see tiny homes all over the globe
I may not comment often, but I would never miss an episode of yours. You truly are the best at delivering Tiny Houses to the world!
I really enjoy watching how all the tiny homes are put together, what materials were used and differences were added or dropped to suit peoples needs. Its so interesting to see what people can do with a tiny space and how they choose to convey their individualism and creativity in such a small space. When I watch these videos it really shows just how much space is wasted when constructing a home, a person does not much to be happy. Thank you once again Bryce and team- I can not wait to see the next one :)
You can feel the love that this family has for one another. Beautiful home.
Love this family and I love what you said at the end... THEY MAY HAVE SACRIFICE THE SIZE OF THEIR HOME, BUT CERTAINLY HAVE NOT SACRIFICE THE QUALITY OF THEIR LIVES TOGETHER!
The mother's voice is so soothing I love hearing it 🙂
That triple bunk bed design is AWESOME!
Good example of a good family, simple life which grows connected humans. This is living with earth, nature and our own nature. Really being human. When the kids grow just add another tiny house like the guest house. Then when they grow up they can move with their home if need to. Thank you for sharing. Gives an old lady hope for the future.
As a retired educated I would like to say that this family, especially the children are getting the most valuable life lessons by living in this amazing tiny home. In a bigger home with their own rooms there not be as tight of a family unit as these kids have. The outdoor space, for not only play but also all of them working together to help grow some of their own food but also helping prepare it and having family meals together is so important. I’ve always agreed that the parents are the first teachers for children but these parents are teaching so much more than just book learning. As a mother that had to work outside of the home to give my kids all that I thought was important, I lost a lot of valuable time as a family. I know it’s probably sometimes stressful for the parents as well without a totally private and quiet space away from the children but I think they are making memories as a family that will stay with all of them.
We really love this, we are a family of 6 and are working on building a tiny house for our family in France. We have a 12 year old, 10 year old and twins who are 8 years old so its tricky to try and get a space which works for all of us but we are going to work it out and make it work as I agree family time is so important and we love being together as a family. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you AGAIN Bryce for bringing us a wonderful video. I loved this family - and was amazed that Francois, through his training, was able to design a totally functioning and beautiful home for him, his wife and 3 children. Simply amazing. It's a small home yet all the pieces fit together perfectly! Take care my friend. ;)
Thanks Charles! Glad you enjoyed this episode. Certainly a lot of great design advice in this one. Thanks for watching mate!
Living Big In A Tiny House I’m too big of a fan to miss one Bryce. It’s amazing what one can do when people put their minds to it. Take care my friend 😁
Charles H I've just discovered this channel and I have to say I'm enjoying your comments as much as the videos! Have a great day/weekend!
The2cookiez Welcome to an awesome channel. Bryce brings us the very best. He’s a true professional with a hugely engaging personality. I’m sure you’ll enjoy him and what he brings for us. Take care.
Moo moo
I am so grateful to see them with three children!
What a lovely family, and a lovely home! Yes, they have turned a "tiny house" into a "tiny, loving home" - a someone said below, WELL DONE!
I absolutely love the “spare” house for guests. Add some shelving and a bit more surface space and I’d live in that full time!
I want the experience of living in a tiny house, maybe when I have a husband so just the two of us! Or maybe with young children! Not a forever home but whilst I’m finding my future! A converted van could also be cool as I want to travel! I want to give it a go and then move into a bigger house!
My parents did the tiny house experience in late 1940s, early 1950s. It was midcentury design, lots of built ins. I remember it, though it was before my time. We used it for many years, in MANY ways. It was lovely. It gave us security and wonderful memories.
Congratulations,. It’s so beautiful to see a family that likes to be together and enjoying it.Our society has lost it and replaced it with things of little or no value at all.
Thank you Bryce for inspiring me in your videos. At first my dream is to have a big house but watching your videos made me change my mind. My goal now is to have my tiny house. Keep inspiring people and more power! :)
When the girls become teenagers I'm sure that guest house will become theirs lol. Better start building more tiny homes to place in the yard teehee :) Thanks for sharing.
I was thinking the same thing. As the children grow that tiny house will become even smaller. Moody teens need their space lol.
That's what I want to do. Build more tiny. Homes for the kids to have more space.
They'll probably move in the other tiny house I would actually really want to live in a tiny house but it should be in my parents back yard so I can come home for dinner 😂 kinda like Andi shack
3.13 "minimizing the amount we consume but maximizing the quality of those things that goes into it." Been bingeing videos from this channel and that line pretty much sums up why these houses are so awesome. :)
Bravo for allowing the parents to actually raise the kids!
Wow. This is amazing. I love how this house encourages the kids to spend so much time outdoors.
I love the idea of using the same material throughout the interior. The design looks fantastic and very functional for this lovely family of 5.
I think it is really nice they do a lot of things together; my siblings and I sometimes argue over the last cupcake! 😂 These kids seem to be really close and that is just wonderful ☺️
I was impressed of the well-behaved of the kids and how simply they live with no toys and no gadgets they like books I love that that design! no clutter No Mess is wonderful thank you for sharing
You should come to Texas and visit spur. This is the only city in Texas that is now allowing tiny house living legally and the city is 100% behind the Tiny House Movement
Ryan
Yes, I'm sure the French would love Texas. 🙄
Lovely home, and this is a very french accent, mec :) J'adore l'aménagement, c'est super fonctionnel. Also for a family of 5. :) well done, guys.

I absolutely LOVE their family!!! They are so loving and caring. My idea of a perfect family.
The best part of these videos are we get to meet some wonderful souls who value relationship over materialism 💛
Wow, It's amazing to see a family living in a tiny house. Really cool how they made it work.
There's definitely a lot of very clever design into making this house really work. Glad you enjoyed the episode!
Tiny house + warehouse storage. It would be interesting to see them in 10 years time
I love the kids' loft! The house is very cute and the space is used well. Kudos to the designers!
Love her comment about TIME with your kids! So important. ❤️❤️👍👍
yes! finally! A tiny house that is not a giant kitchen but a giant living room!
I’ve been following your videos for 2 years now.. and you never cease to amaze me Bryce!!
I feel it’s high time we embrace the ‘tiny’ concept in India.. planning to construct a fully functional tiny home in our newly bought piece of land in South India.. wish me luck!!
Might take years to finalize our project.. but we ll invite you over for the house warming ceremony for sure!!
Welcome to tiny houses in India..!!
Keep up the good work and God bless!!
The only problem is that when the kids are older, they will want their privacy. Solution, build another tiny home to accommodate them. It's will be less luxurious and expansive yet will give them room.
"You want your own privacy? Here's the tools, build it yourself!" "Don't forget the floor plan and material list"
@@SuperMario. At least they won't have to pay for it. It would be a good leaning experience though.
It's clever to put kids in close quarters for now. At this age, they are all about bunking together and having fun. Of course, they will change once they turn into teens and have physically grown too. But for now, it's a great way of (forcibly) bonding the kids. Kids need to learn to share and stay closer for their early emotional development. Beautiful design. Nice video, Bryce.
This tiny house i a too minimalist for my taste, but I love how it allows them to spend their time so close to each other, and how a peaceful family they look.
Is it just me or it really looks big and spacious? 😂
Khayne Miguel just you
Love their tiny house and this family. It’s just, I live small, not tiny but small. I live alone with my now teenage son and he’s got the one bedroom we have, I sleep in the living room and we have two cats. It was kinda okay when he was little but it was horrible when he was sick!!! (Especially stomach flu😖) Laundry everywhere and even more horrible when we both were sick!!! And I only have one child. They probably manage or none of them ever gets sick? That would be my only thing I guess 🤔 Plus now that he’s 17, it’s almost as if our house got even smaller haha. But I’m thankful that I’m still able to pay for a roof over our head and it’s ours no matter how small 🤗 Apart from the being sick thing, they have a great tiny house 😍
This people are so awesome. They seem so lovely. Big respect to them.
This isn't really just a tiny house. They have multiple buildings around, and a large workshop. All of which can be utilised for day to day things, and space to get away from each other... It's awesome that they have made all that work for them though. Very smart, very cool.
And i love the house. this builder really knows what he's doing.
a lot here are so worried once these kids becomes teenager..in my country we always share a room it's not a requirement that each kids/teenager should have their own rooms and if you're unlucky you will sleep on the couch😂..they can move out once their 18 or once they get a job..as long as these parents gives all the things they need & good education..a lot of family putting most of their money in Mortgage/rents makes them hard to provide the needs of their kids plus the time being with them coz they have to work hard or work extra just for the mortgage..I hope someday i could have a 'tiny house' with my future kids..the bond in this family are amazing..💖
Ms Margarette You’re absolutely right.
I agree a small house with big yard to grow something and spend quality times with nature.
My husband grew up in a 3-bedroom house. Six kids, two parents, and grandma. It all works out.
Same. I share my room with my sister . When grandparents come(4months minimum) I am in the living (main) room . Lol.
Honestly
Keep twlling yourselves that it might come true.
lol as always, kids are the ones to experience the lack of space the most
Like they are literally in a cupboard on top of each other.
I love the simplicity and functionality of it all. This has got to be my new favourite tiny house!
This family and house is goals for me. I hope to one day live and be happy like this. 💞💞💞 May God bless them with abundance!
When Im older, I wanna buy a tiny house like this.
I’m so impressed! Awesome, you’re homeschooling! Yaaay! May God continue to bless all of you!
Perfectly embodies what tiny homes is about. Not just about what you live in but how you live.
I love the idea of pushing the kitchen and bedrooms off to the side. I also LOVE the barn door style picture window. And I loved the arrangement of the kids' beds. So many great ideas.
Of course it's doable to live in a tiny house when you have a storage shed.
u huge storage shed as she said
This is SO amazing. I would love to live in a space like this one day when I have a family.
Usually I don’t like a tiny house with a family but they’ve done a great job and seem a lovely close family. Well thought out. Love the living area so bright but lots of floor space for the kids to play. Best of luck to them
I like this idea of stay together all the time. I mean still see what each kid do. It feel safer this way. :) cool
this just became one of my fav tiny homes. great layout and use of materials
Such a lovely family, I love their values so much.
Love this house. Love that the children’s window is easy to open in an emergency situation.
Amazing, second time I've watched this. Excellent questions & responses. So flexible & the whole family seems really content & connected. Going small has expanded their happiness.
a very nice home.. I love the kids room.. job well done 👍👍👍
Bravo François et Sarah-Lee, beau travail, belle philosophie de vie!
Absolutely wonderful, very creative design and finishing. They will all cherish this time together for the rest of their lives.
Soooooo beautiful ....lifestyle and being together .......can feel the love and sweetness of their space and life of sharing......
Great design! Clean lines and modern. The best composing toilet ever!
Rich Kate an indoor Outhouse-no thanks. There’s a reason that Outhouses were “out.”
Amazing design! So simple and functional. I really like it!
Beautiful family❣️. He melted my heart when he said we always want to be together ❣️...good husband!
It is a lovely home sweet home. And yes this takes away all the worries of how and where a child would have to live, by the time they grow they know how to adapt.
